What, Â you say, do these three things have in common? Â Well, me , at the moment. Â Today the girls and I made these lovely Egyptian pyramids to aid us in our study of the ancient Egypt. We used sugar cubes, Â white glue, and paint and had a messy but fun time. Â This is part of our Story of the World classical history curriculum and I am so impressed with it so far. Â I think the girls would agree with me that history is our favorite subject. Â Â Monday, Â we are supposed to mummify chickens. Â Eeek! Â Wish me luck.
Then there’s the infamous Fantasy Football draft that took place today. Â Has this man-game hit your family yet? Â I would complain except that I love it too. Â I couldn’t wait to get home last night and find out who “we” drafted. Â You see, Â this has a profound effect on which and how many football games we will watch every week. Â All this compounded by the fact that Marcus now lives with us and is a confessing sports addict as well. Â Â I will be the most well informed female about all things football. Â And in case you’re wondering, Â we got Carson Palmer, Â Ladian Tomlinson, Tory Holt…….blah blah blah. Â Â Who am I kidding? Â All ten of my faithful readers are girly girls.
Egyptian Pyramids, Fantasy Football, and Battle of the Bands, part 2
And then there’s a great ending to a great day. Â Taylor’s band, Â The Verity, Â played in another battle of the bands near Johnson City……and WON……AGAIN. Â Â The little girls and I went and listened and took this very poor quality video that may make you need dramamine…..(Elea was pulling on my arm through most of it.) Â Â This time their prize was $100 and a chance to open for GroupOneCrew—-yeah I don’t listen to christian rap either—-so that means nothing to me; except that the boys will have a chance again to play to a large crowd. Â This senior year for Taylor is off to a good start. Â Thank you Morgan for being so kind to the girls and I. Â Â
